Just removed the display of the Spectrosocopy Ninja Facebook timeline from the http://spectroscopy.ninja front page and from here. It is not so important to show the infrequent updates happening over there, considering the risk of being tracked all over the place by them...
I myself didn't even see it, as I'm using Firefox with tracking protection activated.

Today is the 1st anniversary of Spectragryph !

Since the first release of v1.0 on 2016/11/11, Spectragryph has seen 17 additional releases, up to the current version v1.2.6 . Recognized file formats have mounted from about 40 to currently 60, and totally new functionality has been added, like spectral library search, processing automation and spectrometer hardware control.

During this first year, the website has been visited about 95,000 times with 1,350,000 hits and the software was downloaded 13,000 times by over 6,200 individual users from all over the world.

Almost 600 free non-commercial license were provided to private & academic users and I was engaged in meaningful conversations with hundreds of users.

The 17th update to the initial Spectragryph version brings "scaled subtraction", some more settings for OceanOptics modules (like TEC cooling), a complete peak list for all spectra, improved and more consistent handling for a number of functions and quite some bugfixes. Additionally, the licensing mechansism has been changed. See the list of all changes here. Download from here.

The 16th update to the initial Spectragryph version brings support of all common spectrometer modules from Avantes! Additionally, there is a new file format (Avantes Avasoft kinetic series *.str8) and some more improvements. See a list of all changes here. Download from here.

From today on, the hardcore fans among you can buy "Spectroscopy Ninja" themed T-shirts, shirts, hoodies, mugs and so on. SpreadShirt will send at least to all places in Europe, not sure about oversea shipping. Here is the link: http://shop.spreadshirt.de/100051378
Designs are based on the Spectroscopy Ninja logo and the Spectragryph gryphon.

The 15th update to the initial Spectragryph version further brings timestamps with millisecond accuracy for acquired spectra (allowing well-resolved time kinetics), and a "Transfer" function for rapid spectral database search or automated processing of acquired spectra. Additionally, reading of Renishaw *.wdf Raman spectral files now possible. See a list of all changes here. Download from here.

The 14th update to the initial Spectragryph version further increases the range of supported spectrometer types with the new "Acquire" feature: now it also works with OceanOptics devices. Should work with all singel-channel devices, TEC cooling is not yet implemented. See a list of all changes here. Download from here.

13th update to the initial Spectragryph version released today. All changes happening this time with the new "Acquire" feature: interfacing with two additional spectrometer types (Stellarnet & Andor), x axis calibration, setting, saving & loading of device parameters and an "aditive" acquisition mode. See a list of all changes here. Download from here.

12th update to the initial Spectragryph version released today. Shortly after the release of v1.2, it turned out there were two annoying bugs newly introduced with v1.2 One is about ugly line shapes when using large line widths, the other about not showing all peak labels for spectra with many datapoints. Both are fixed with v1.2.1 See a list of all changes here. Download from here.
